What are Acidophilus Plus capsules for?

Our digestive system is colonised by billions of bacteria, some of which are known as ‘friendly’. ‘Friendly’ because they work in many useful ways. They can reduce the build up of wind, boost the immune system, prevent harmful bacteria from taking hold (helping to prevent infections) and help us to absorb nutrients from our diet. A proper balance between the beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria must be kept to maintain a healthy, regular digestive system.
